The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Assume reasonable value for missing data, if any.

SECTION -A
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE.

1. (a) What do you mean by concrete cylinder strength, fc and yield strength of steel fy? (5}j)
(b) A rectangular beam has the dimensions as shown in Fig.l and reinforced with 3 - #9

bars. Determine the stresses caused by a bending moment, M = 150 K-ft. (18)
Given,f~ = 4000 psi, fy = 60 ksi, n = 8
fr (modulus of rupture) = 475 psi.

2. (a) An 8 - ft span cantilever beam has a rectangular section and reinforcement as shown in
Fig.2. The beam carries a dead load, including its own weight, of 1.5 k/ft and a live load of
0.9 k/ft. Usingf~ = 4 ksi, n = 8, fs = 24 ksi, check if the beam is safe to carry the above

loads. Use WSD method. (13}j )

(b) Determine the ultimate moment capacity of the beam section as shown in Fig. 1. (10)

3. (a) Design the web re-inforcement of the beam as shown in Fig. 3 by WSD method. (20)
Given,f~ = 3 ksi, fv = 24 ksi, n = 9
(b) It is good practice to design the beam such that the failure would be. initiated by

yielding of steel rather than by crushing of concrete. Why? (3}j)

4. (a) A floor system consists of a 4-inch concrete slab supported by continuous T beams of
24-ft span, 48 in. on centers, as shown in Fig. 4. What tensile steel area is required at

midspan to resist a working moment of2600 kip-inch? (16)

Given, fs = 20 ksi,f~ = 4000 psi, n = 8
(b) Describe the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beam under various loading

stage- (7 }j)

(i) at low loads

(ii) at moderate load which causes tension cracking;
(iii) at ultimate load

SECTION-B
There are FOUR questions in this section. Answer any THREE

5. Using WSD method, design the beam as shown in Fig. 5. The beam carries a uniform live
load of 3 k/ft. Consider self-weight of the beam in addition to the live load. Draw the
reinforcement details also. (23X)
Given,f~ = 4000 psi, fs = 24 ksi, n = 8

6. (a) Using WSD method, design the one way slab panal 'Sl' as shown in Fig. 6. The slab
carries a uniform live load of 45 psf and a dead load of 30 psf in addition to its self-weight.
Draw the reinforceinent details also. Use ACI moment coefficients as given in Fig. 7 for
calculation. (18)
Given,f~ = 4000 psi, fs = 24 ksi, n = 8
(b) Draw with neat sketches different type ofRC floor systems and briefly describe them. (5 X)

7. Using WSD method, design the two way slab panal 'Sl' as shown in Fig. 8. The slab
carries a uniform live load of 40 psf and a super-imposed dead load of 30 psf in addition to
its self-weight. Draw the reinforcement details also. Use ACI moment coefficients as given
in Table 1, 2 and 3 for calculation. (23X)
Given,f~ = 4000 psi, fs = 24 ksi, n = 8

8. Check the adequacy of a flat plate as shown in Fig. 9 against punching shear. The slab
carries a uniformly distributed working load of 150 psf in addition to the slab self-weight.
The thickness of the slab is 10" and the columns are 14" X 14" in dimension. (20)
Given,f~ = 4000 psi, fy = 40 ksi
(b) For a slab with longer to shorter span ratio greater than 2, it acts as a one way slab.
